Tailor 4 Less x Birchbox

I've had the pleasure to work with quite a few custom shirt companies but I can say without hesitation that Tailor 4 Less has to be one of the best.  From the fit to the numerous options of customization, their shirts are hard to beat.  I'm fortunate to have a great tailor that knows my measurements so inputting my measurements for the shirt was easy.  However if you don't know your sizing--find a competent tailor to take Tailor 4 Less' eight recommended measurements and within a week or so you'll find yourself wearing a bespoke shirt.

 

It was good timing that my buddies over at Birchbox sent this classic Nick Graham tie.  I wanted to do the shirt justice by highlighting it without overshadowing it.  By combining a shirt and tie with a double breasted blazer--the timeless look is maintained while the colored chinos modernizes the look and makes it more spring appropriate.

 

Let me know what you guys think and make sure to visit Tailor 4 Less and Birchbox.

NYC: The Wolf of Wall Street

NYC men always look as though they are headed to work or coming off of work.  It's about dressing nice and suiting up because one wants to and not because one has too--that's what I love about NYC.  It's a change to walk into a bar with a full-on suit and not a single person thinks twice or assumes you are overdressed.

As seen on GQ: How GQ Are You?

     We've seen what a floral shirt and a classic Fred Perry jacket can look like.  Now let's add some urban edge and pair the exact same outfit with a white denim jacket.  It goes to show that an extensive wardrobe isn't needed--rather mixing items will radically change any look.

Scott's Menswear: Fred Perry Part II

     To flip how a typical sailing jacket is worn--I paired it with a floral shirt and a polka-dot tie.  I hope you guys enjoy how I balanced bold with some classic pieces.
